Overview

  • An official league injury report lists McBride out against the Raptors with a left ankle sprain following negative X-rays and an MRI evaluation.
  • McBride was injured in Sunday’s win over the Magic after contact on a drive, shot his free throws, then exited and was later seen in a walking boot.
  • Mike Brown plans to redistribute backup-guard duties, with Tyler Kolek and Jordan Clarkson positioned to absorb minutes in the push-man initiator role.
  • The Knicks are 0-3 this season when McBride does not play, and he has been shooting 44.4% from deep on the year during a career-best start.
  • No return timetable has been set, while Karl-Anthony Towns was listed as questionable for Toronto and the Raptors ruled out RJ Barrett with a knee sprain.
